>> john: jump back to the white house briefing where peter doocy is asking karine jean-pierre an immigration question. let's listen in. >> this is why the president is having negotiations with the senate, senators, republicans and democrats, right, for the past couple weeks to deal with what's going on at the border security, right, as it relates to border security. this is why the president on day one put forward a comprehensive immigration plan that more than three years now congress didn't do anything about. but he's appreciative that we are having these conversations in the senate. we have deployed additional

troops and federal agents to the border who have, by the way, returned more than -- the president has diplomatic conversations with mexico, actually taken actions to deal with the situation. there's more work to do. there is more work to do. we understand that. we have said that. you've heard that from the president on friday. we understand that there's more work to do. we need more resources, need more funding, why we are having these negotiations on the hill. but republicans in the senate is working with us, republicans in the house are trying to get in the way. so it's up to them. are they going to help, are they going to actually deal with the issue or continue to move forward with a political stunt. >> as president biden tries to make the national conversation about reproductive rights, abortion, how many weeks into a

pregnancy does he think abortion should be legal? >> we want to see roe the law of the land, that's what the president wants to see and believes in. and clear here, it's not some sort of shift the president is making. majority of americans want to see their protections protected by the folks who are here in washington, d.c., in congress, by this president and the vice president. the president is standing majority of americans, saw that in the 2023 midterm elections and saw it in 2022, not midterm election but 2023 election and 2022 midterm elections. they have been very clear. we need to stand for freedoms to make sure women have the right to make their own decision, personal decisions on their body, on their healthcare, that's where majority of americans are. guess what, republican officials are not there, they are not with the majority of americans so the president will stand with the majority of americans on this. go ahead, brian.

>> thanks, karine. >> john: peter doocy back and forth with the press secretary, karine jean-pierre, and asking why polls show the president increasingly believed to be less mentally sharp and finally, a question on abortion, sandra. >> sandra: and push on the economy and economic policies that the white house says are working while it does not poll well with voters. more on that coming up as well, john. >> john: all right. well, as we said, you just heard peter doocy presidenting the white house on the border crisis. emerging as a major weak spot for president biden next november. voters, city leaders and officials begging the president to take action for months while he is not ready to admit it is a "crisis," he finally did say the border is not secure. here is more from the white house. >> this is an urgent moment, urgent time to get things done at the border to make sure we move his national security supplemental forward. >> john: hello, john roberts from washington.

good to be with you for hour two, sandra, kick off another brand-new week with a lot of political stuff going on. >> sandra: you as well, john. this is "america reports". the president appears to be putting his blinders on, those in his own party are urging him to face the reality. >> i honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border. >> our southern border is a disaster. i'm a democrat telling you, i've been there twice, i've seen it. someone has got to get it under control. >> sandra: growing calls from democrats to do something. so, will the president listen? fox team coverage now, gillian turner on the biden administration plan to stem the flow of fentanyl into the country. but first, dana live in eagle pass, texas on the border battle between the state and the federal government there. what is the latest, ann marie? >> sandra, i can tell you here in shelby park, it's quiet, even compared to december when we saw thousands cross. this area specifically, one of the busiest crossings.

take a look at what texas governor greg abbott's military department has done to fortify this work. texas dps tells us the low number of migrants crossing right now is seasonal but once the weather warms up they expect an influx in the numbers once again. we see military putting up even more fencing over the weekend adding to that razor wire. texas has kicked out border patrol from this park and texas state troopers are now arresting migrants who tamper with that razor wire, charging them with criminal trespassing. and witnessed two-man boats patrolling the river morning until evening. another clear deterrent. then over the weekend house foreign affairs committee chairman michael mccall and members of congress took a boat tour of the rio grande to see crossings. a meeting between president biden and the national security

chairman. >> every democrat there agreed we needed to secure the border, including the president of the united states. he says it's broken, needs to be fixed and we need significant changes. >> texas democrat henry cuellar emphasized republicans and democrats need to work together on the crisis to see change. >> when you are letting millions of people in, they got to sleep somewhere, and it's not fair to the people that have been waiting for affordable housing here u.s. citizens. >> another topic discussed during the press conference was drug smuggling in from mexico. mccall says congressional and other members are in mexico city meeting with obrador and how to stop the influx of drugs into the united states. >> john: secretary of state antony blinken is praising mexico for leading in the fight against fentanyl. touting its efforts to stop the flow of the deadly drug into the

united states, but recent reports claim the country has only raided a handful of active drug labs and cbp reports fentanyl seizures have increased more than 800% since 2019. gillian turner live with more. how is secretary blinken justifying these claims? >> gillian: well, john, the secretary says that what is different now is that the mexican government is engaging on a daily basis with the biden team with the fentanyl crisis which by the way is still continuing to kill tens of thousands of americans every year. take a listen to secretary blinken. >> mexico is playing an increasingly leading role in this, really engaged in this global coalition we put together, really engaged with us every single day and trying to take down the criminal enterprises engaged in this, and with mexico. >> gillian: despite the high death rates of young americans in particular suffering fentanyl overdoses, president biden says he thinks he deserves a lot of

the credit here. >> and by the way, i've worked with china and mexico to slow the slow of fentanyl in the united states as i speak it's way down. >> gillian: secretary blinken acknowledges a lot of progress to be made. listen. >> two years ago we seized -- seized, that does not mean we got everything, we seized enough fentanyl to kill every single american citizen. that is the scope of the problem. >> gillian: interestingly republicans over on capitol hill now are emphasizing the real world impact that all of this is having on american citizens. take a listen. >> sadly we had two mothers testify for our committee who lost their loved ones. one to fentanyl, another daughter got raped by ms13 gang banger from honduras. the real life tragedy we are

seeing on the ground. it's tearing apart the fabric of this nation and it's a human tragedy. >> gillian: we are learning today, john, next month, february, biden administration officials will travel to mexico city once again, convene with the mexican government for the third round of the border crisis negotiations they kicked off in december in mexico city as well, back to you, john. >> john: thank you. gillian turner, outkick columnist mary katherine ham with more on this. jacqui heinrich asked the president on friday if he thought the border was secure. listen to what he said. >> the last ten years. give me the money. >> john: he says for the last ten years he has not believed the border is secure, even though his homeland security secretary said over and over the border was secure. but the money he's asking for, what would it do to stop the cross border flow of traffic, what would it do to stop the

pull of 300,000 people across the border last month? >> the federal government famously has so very little money to work with, the 9 trillion they are bleeding out into the country and causing inflation. that aside. look, there are problems here with the policies and the rhetoric of the biden administration which acts as a magnet. people know what they are getting when they come to the border, they know they can walk into the country, a court date sometimes ten years from now that they do not have to show up for. and the fact is that it was always simplistic to say hey, the statute of liberty says come on right in, why are you people complaining, you are so hateful. there are small communities and real human crises going on at the border, not just with migrants but american citizens who have to deal with this influx. and these cities are not able to do it and frankly, sanctuary cities, never seen any more hypocrisy on any issue than sanctuary cities saying come to us, wait, wait, wait, no, don't do that. this is quite hard for us because there are limited

resources and you have to have infrastructure in place to deal with that number of people. the idea that the white house is going to tell people that this is not a crisis, when we are looking at unprecedented numbers for many, many months and many, many years on end, i think it does not pass the smell test and moderate independent voters go look, you can't run against a trump, for instance, as a chaos agent and preside over this chaos at the border. because that's what it looks like. >> john: what about democratic politicians, john fetterman, was a self-declared progressive said about it yesterday. >> i honestly don't understand why it's controversial to say we need a secure border. you can be very supportive of immigration, but we also need to have a secure border. >> john: and what fetterman told "the new york post". there is a crisis. we have a cries at our border and it can't be controversial that we should have a secure border. fetterman is peeling away from the progressive wing of the party and now criticizing the president. i mean -- this is like a scene

out of "ghost busters," dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. >> nice and rare to be presently surprised by a politician i think he's speaking for pennsylvania voters, it's a battleground state, it's not a super lefty or super progressive state and the people look at what's going on and say hey, aren't you guys supposed to be in charge of this? and he is speaking to those people. a gut feeling this is out of control, and the gut feeling tracks with reality. it's not a perception problem. it is what's actually happening. >> john: and not just limited to fetterman, this is 14 democrats who in recent days voted with the republican party to rebuke biden for his border policies. open border policies is what they were called, henry cuellar is in the group, jared moskowitz, florida in the group as well, they are clearly worried how this is going to play in the general election in november. >> and they should be.

it's an issue that trump is good at talking about. he has some cred on the issue. i'll say he did not get done on the border exactly what he said he was going to do, with mexico paying for the wall and all that, but i think he has a more compelling case on this because of the numbers during his time as president. >> john: obviously it got a lot of criticism but the remain in mexico policy was probably the most effective tool that has ever been used to stop cross border immigration. >> and one of the problems with the biden administration, they sort of govern in opposition to the trump administration, so says we don't like that rule because you like thad rule. let's look at the rule and see if it's working for the american people and working for the american people what you have to do to win the presidency. >> john: all right. we'll be watching going forward, bound to be a huge issue, at least according to the polling out of iowa. great to see you. thanks for starting the week with us. >> sandra: not one, but two health cares for the royal family. update on kate and charles with our royal expert neil shawn

coming up. >> john: nikki haley readies her return to south carolina in hopes to shore up voters, but will not be getting the report from yet another south carolina republican. why congresswoman nancy mace is turning to trump over haley. she's here to explain coming up. >> the majority, vast majority of republican voters want to see him re-elected back to the white house and tomorrow will send another suffering blow to nikki haley's campaign. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

to folks at the diner there. this is another event that she's holding there ahead of the big primary there tomorrow. and it is shaping up to be a battle after congresswoman nancy mace was the latest south carolina republican to unite behind donald trump. snubbing haley, who lives in her district, and supported her in the midterms. south carolina congresswoman nancy mace joins us now. well, i mean -- >> good afternoon. >> sandra: you say it out loud, why not, why aren't you supporting nikki haley? >> well, nikki haley was a great governor for south carolina. she's run a great race. and look, when she jumped in i told everyone, i told the people not to underestimate her and she's the last opponent standing today but i also have an obligation to listen to my voters, and the district, south carolina, overwhelmingly they are with donald trump. we have had four years of weakness in the white house, they don't want four more years of weakness under joe biden.

they want four more years of strengths, of peace, prosperity and patriotism. it's donald trump in south carolina. no reason why this race should continue on to south carolina after tomorrow. we need to have it a one-on-one race between donald trump and joe biden. >> sandra: wow, that is fascinating. had she been closer in the polls to donald trump or even now heading into new hampshire ahead of south carolina, would you be thinking differently about your support? >> i think she's run a terrific race but i've been listening to voters for months and weeks now and he's getting stronger and stronger. people want the primary to be over and want us to move forward because there's a lot at stake for our children and for our nation, even our allies around the world. our country and world is less safe because we have a weak president in the white house and we had a stronger economy. i hear day in and day out from the voters in south carolina. >> sandra: really interesting. nikki haley joined this network earlier this morning, now talking about what she says is

the chaos that surrounds donald trump. listen. >> i was proud to serve america in his administration. i agree with a lot of his policies. he was good at breaking things. you got to be good at fixing things, too. this is a time we have to fix america. that's what we are focused on. and rightly or wrongly, chaos follows him. >> sandra: to that you say what, congresswoman? >> politics is a blood sport. primaries are a blood sport. that is the nature of the beast when you are running for office. but i look at the economy under donald trump versus the economy under joe biden. i look at the taxes that were lowered for every hard working american under donald trump and see the inflation, i see the price of eggs when i go to the grocery store with my kids every week under joe biden. and donald trump is who south carolina wants. >> sandra: hypothetical match-up with donald trump, nikki haley potential 2024 match-up, nikki

haley would beat joe biden 51-34%. poll after poll, a great chance of beating joe biden in a general election. while trump 47%, biden at 43%. still besting joe biden. so, in a general election match-up, do you think nikki haley could fare better than a donald trump-joe biden match-up? >> it's up to the voters who they want to be their nominee. and donald trump crushed it in iowa, he will crush it in new hampshire and in south carolina, win my district and the entire state overwhelmingly. he is who the voters want and we have to listen to those who elected us. >> sandra: i shouldn't say we were surprised, we knew it was up there, but immigration ranked over the economy in iowa in the fox news voter analysis. what is it in south carolina, what's the priority? >> in our district it's the economy and inflation. in my district, about as purple as your blazer, the second issue is abortion. and then it's immigration, and immigration is one of those top three issues. but womens issues are important

in the 2024 cycle as well. >> sandra: fascinating. enjoyed the discussion. thanks for being here. >> john: another oakland business shutting their doors for good because of rising crime. when will enough be enough for city leaders. >> sandra: divorce records unsealed for one of the prosecutors in the trump election case. will his alleged romance with d.a. fani willis derail the case? it's a huge question at this hour. jonathan turley on how bad this may get for willis. >> if another district attorney with independent eyes with objectivity, would all these charges be filed. i would say to you no. trump is a victim along with those other defendants.

>> john: the famed west coast burger joint in-n-out says it will close its store in oakland. rising crime and safety concerns for customers and employees. jonathan hunt has more from our west coast newsroom. boy, this is an institution there. how are people reacting? >> jonathan: yeah, it really is, john, and another blow to residents of oakland and to the city's battered image losing a restaurant like in-n-out, another example of the real world effects the crime surge is having on the city. now in-n-out said it tried to keep the oakland location open and remains busy and profitable, but the company said safety for its workers and customers is priority number one, saying "despite taking repeated steps to create safer conditions, our customers and associates are regularly victimized by car break-ins, property damage, theft and armed robberies."

going on to say "we cannot ask them to visit or work in an unsafe environment." and the crime statistics in oakland continue to make for grim reading. robberies in 2023 up 38% from 2022. burglaries up 23% and vehicle thefts up 44%. with many oakland residents blaming alameda county district attorney pamela price and what her critics consider price's soft on crime policies. price is now facing a recall campaign with organizers saying they have secured enough signatures to trigger a recall vote. those signatures we should point out have not yet been verified and the city of oakland still does not have a new police chief, even though it's nearly 12 months since the previous chief was fired. city leaders apparently cannot agree on candidates for a role that one would think they would urgently want to fill amid what is clearly a crime crisis.

john. >> john: when in-n-out leaves, that's something significant. jonathan hunt, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: house republicans demanding answers about more than $1 billion in taxpayer funds flowing into a u.n. agency with alleged ties to hamas. hillary vaughan has more on capitol hill for us. do we know where this money is going? >> not really, sandra, even though the u.s. is the largest donor to this agency. the u.n. relief and works agency for palestinian refugees does not have the best track record. hamas terrorists are accused of stealing food and supplies meant for the palestinian people and hoarding it for themselves. lawmakers on capitol hill want the head of the agency to testify to where taxpayer money is going and answer questions about some agency members close ties to hamas. some writing this, the ongoing war in israel has exposed the

troubling history of unrwa aiding palestinian terrorists and jihadists. hamas tunnels have been found to their schools as they use children in the schools as human shields. constituents are horrified their taxpayer dollars may have through unrw failures supported hamas terrorists. even though the usaid inspector general, they are looking for more cash for humanitarian assistance to gaza. >> we have been clear there needs to be more humanitarian assistance into gaza. not enough, and we are going to put the pressure on. >> while president biden has given $730 million, even more than that, under his administration, former president trump cut off funding to the agency in 2018 because he questioned the legitimacy of the

organization. sandra. >> sandra: hillary vaughan on the hill for us, thank you. john. >> john: sandra, a judge has just granted fulton county district attorney fani willis a temporary stay in her fight to avoid being deposed in her alleged lover nathan wade's divorce case. wade is the special prosecutor willis tapped to oversea the trump case and the two traveled together. calls for willis and wade to recuse themselves from prosecuting former president trump and 18 co-defendants, some of those charged calling for the case to be thrown out entirely, one of those people is the former president. bring in jonathan turley, she is not out of the woods yet in terms of this subpoena to be deposed in the jocelyn wade-nathan wade divorce case. the judge ruled he wants to wait for an evidentiary hearing on january 31st and then make a

decision. which way do you think it's going to go? >> jonathan: well, i think this is a logical decision by the court. he's just basically freezing the action until he gets all the evidence in front of him. but the damage is already done for willis, and in many ways she's really magnifying that damage with her moves. she filed a motion before the court that attacked the he estranged wife of her alleged lover as adulterer and conspirator, she could have just said i'm not relevant, could have said a deposition is not needed. and instead she did this full on attack. and that only raises further questions. i mean, you have the original decision she made, which in my view is unethical, in hiring some one she had an alleged intimate relationship with. but she compounded that

afterwards in her response. it's clear that mr. wade and willis herself are undermining the case for her office. and so she's putting their interests ahead of the office. that's the very thing that conflict of interest rules are meant to avoid. >> john: so i had a look at the motion she filed with the court. she does a couple of points in the motion say she is not relevant to the divorce case, she alleges it's an affair that jocelyn wade had with one of nathan wade's friends that irretrievably broke the marriage, but also says to your point that jocelyn wade is part of a conspiracy with the trump organization to go after her and they are using discovery as a vehicle to harass her. now, when you take a look at the big bethel ame church the other sunday, she claimed it was all about racism, now saying it's a big trump conspiracy. so which is it?

>> jonathan: right. and my point is that she should have just ended where she began in that motion and just say i'm not relevant. i'll do what you ask me to do. but what i have to share is not going to be material to the outcome of this case. and instead she went to this conspiracy argument and called anyone raising the questions racist. there are experts on both the left and the right who said she and wade should recuse themselves and in many ways it's ironic. she accused trump to not listening to the legal experts about the law and the election. she's doing the same thing. i mean, you have an overwhelming view that this conflict of interest is undermining the case. whenever that view comes to the forefront, most prosecutors would say all right, i need to take myself out of this equation to protect the interest of my office. instead she's calling everyone racist and political conspirators, not helping her case. >> john: so the judge has

ordered that the record in the divorce case can be unsealed. and we know jocelyn wade, nathan wade's estranged wife, has submitted in her file into the court bank records which show nathan wade bought plane tickets for both him and fani willis to various locations. now, i don't know if she's putting that in there to say this was a torrid affair for a long time, but the money used, paid to wade for his services is used to buy plane tickets for get-aways, what does that suggest? >> jonathan: whatever it suggests is not good. the thing is, this is fairly common in a divorce proceeding for one of the parties to say that the other party has been using money in ways that are sort of deleting the account or removing value from common property. in this case, the other woman

just happens to be the district attorney. but for willis, it's a much more serious problem. the department of justice has prosecuted people who have accepted airplane tickets as alleged kickbacks. i think she'll say look, this was just a personal relationship, but she's got more questions to answer and she's not doing it by calling people racist and conspirators. >> john: supporters of willis say that wade should step away, but that she should stay on the case. but she's the one who is in charge. if anybody steps away from the case, shouldn't it be her? >> jonathan: at the end i think i'm skeptical they are going to terminate the case, the judge will throw the case out. she might be able to get away with removing wade. but this still remains an office under her direction and the question is how much damage she has done and she is doing with this campaign of hers to try to retain control. >> john: all right, jonathan turley for us, learned professor of all things legal.

>> i'm just going to step -- i'll come 80 miles an hour. here we go, you ready? [bleep] >> sandra: wasn't too long ago that was president biden burning rubber in a ford f-150 all

electric pickup truck, that was 2021. that was also in dearborn, michigan as he was pushing all americans to buy electric vehicles. fast forward, ford is announcing it's going to slash production of that exact truck the president was driving as electric vehicles just sit on their lots. fox business jeff flock is at a ford dealership in toms river, new jersey. so, tom, what are dealers saying about all this? jeff. >> jeff: if they are honest with you, like the dealers here are, they are saying they don't -- it's a surprise. this is the gas-powered f-150. they sold about 725,000 of these last year. if you spin around and take a look at that, that's the lightning, the electric version. they sold about 25,000 of those. so, 725,000 to 25,000. yeah, we have pictures now of that plant that you just mentioned, sandra, the one in dearborn, michigan where these trucks are made, the lightnings are made.

they are cutting a shift there. curiously enough, not eliminating jobs, but transferring the jobs over to the gas-powered vehicles. gas-powered vehicles may be the future. the real future may be hybrids. take an look at these numbers, hybrids share of the market now, they used to be the green alternative before evs came along now they are outselling evs again, they have 8% market share i think now compared to 7.6% ev, and that is on the rise. people are liking to have both the gas-powered vehicle and the battery, because they like to be green but maybe not that green. here is what the analysts tell us. >> it's not maybe as hard if you have multiple vehicles in your household, but for a lot of americans who, you know, are just getting by, a lot of people have one car and that car has to do everything. so making sure it is the right one is really important. >> jeff: as i mentioned, sandra,

people have some interest in saving the planet, perhaps, and also saving money. if you look at the combined market share of evs and hybrids, it's on the rise. doubled almost since 2021 up to about 16% right now. so maybe, you know, having a gas-powered engine and a battery is not a bad thing. sort of like having a belt and suspenders. make sure your pants don't fall down and if you have two back-ups, it's not a bad thing. >> sandra: only you could come up with that, jeff, in toms river, sorry about that. >> jeff: just came to me. >> sandra: the concept for drivers is around town you have, what's your distance with the hybrid on the electric side? 25 miles? and then you know, if you need to go long distances with gas you can? >> jeff: exactly. you can go as far as you want because the gas will kick in and that will charge the battery and you can go forever, just like you would in a regular gas-powered car.

some of the hybrids have the same engine with the regular gas-powered car would have with the extra battery. it seems to be what people want these days as opposed to something forced on them. >> sandra: the concept behind the all electric pickup truck was a tough one, so many who drive pick-ups drive long -- but it's a great-looking truck, no doubt. >> jeff: it's a great truck, great reviews and the cyber truck out there, huge interest in that as well. i mean, it's cool, but does it really work for a day-to-day guy building houses or hauling stuff around. >> sandra: there is that. >> jeff: some day, maybe. >> sandra: always good to see you there. thank you so much. john. >> john: all right, to the white house now where president biden is speaking on the 51st anniversary of roe v. wade. we just heard the white house refused to answer whether or not the president supports putting limits on abortion, he was asked how many weeks would he be comfortable with.

>> john: actress reece witherspoon is igniting divide after sharing a unique snow day recipe. listen here. >> we got a ton of snow over the

past few days, decided to make a recipe. first we scooped the snow into cups and we added salted carmel syrup and some chocolate syrup because we like how they taste together. and we put it on top. and then we decided to add some cold brew to have a yummy coffee flavor. that's so good. >> john: some viewers said they would give the snow dessert a try, others say it's unappetizing and dangerous to eat. she went past the haters and said she grew up drinking unfiltered water and she is alive to tell the story. and when we grew up, frank zappa, watch out where the huskies go and don't go where they good. >> sandra: telling me you have

an 8-year-old, and four snowballs in the freezer. every time it snows he wants to keep it. i think it looked delicious. >> john: if climate change keeps going, the snowballs may be worth something as a relic. >> sandra: and they are white, no yellow snow. the royal family announcing hospital stays for king charles and the princess of wales. charles is receiving care for enlarged prostate, and kate is healing from abdominal surgery and much of her condition is private. neil, thank you for being here. we wish them both the best. a bit of a shock to hear they both went in for medical procedures. update on either for us right now? >> good evening, sandra, from london and let's wish, of course, the duchess of york all the very best as well. now she has yet another health issue. seemingly, of course, january has not been the very best start

for the british monarchy. but in perspective, the situation with the princess of wales is one of privacy. she's gone in there, we kind of know what she wants, and the difference between, say, herself and his majesty the king, he wanted his condition out there. the real reason, simply this. he knows as a man of 75, if he does not say this is what's wrong with me, all manner of speculation will start to escalate, you know, particularly in the media. so i think he's done the right thing, not only that, he's been very vocal about this, obviously it's going to get many men around the world thinking i need to get that checked. but the other side of the coin is katherine, you know, it's her decision, but why should she reveal her medical decision. in the fullness of time that naturally will come out, no doubt share it in some kind of form, but right now we know she's well looked after in the london clinic and within a

matter of days, his majesty the king will be going for his operation. brave man. >> sandra: indeed. and looking at these pictures of princess kate, she is just beloved by so many so we wish her well and the world is certainly watching on. we don't have much -- any details really, we just know abdominal surgery, but there for a couple of weeks, we are told she is working from bed. her aides are praising her unwavering commitment to duty. as far as king charles is concerned, how much disclosure does the public really want? obviously there is going to be a healing process here. >> well, there is, yes, but you know, i think again what people don't necessarily know is that she is in touch with her children, we live in a digital age via zoom, the length of period she's away is very concerning because very active

lady, very fit, you know, no other sort of complications, and i think that's where people are trying to speculate, you know, that's the other side of it. but with his majesty, the king, again, you know, he's very much is a fit guy, you know, for his age. i would suspect that he will bounce back far quicker. and i think the other side, true, is that people also, because we are in a difficult time, people are unforgiving about giving people a lengthy period off. even though they possibly deserve it, it's the social media age we live in. take ten minutes off and suddenly you are out of favor, you know what i mean. >> sandra: the contrast to the defense secretary recently heading into the hospital here in the united states without telling the white house. there was a lot of secrecy there, just the contrast is really interesting, king charles obviously really getting out ahead of this and making the public aware of his condition. lately, you did mention sarah ferguson diagnosed with skin cancer after her breast cancer

battle. to your point, wow, facing so many health battles as we kick off the new year. good to have you on the program. we'll keep following up and hope they are all recovering and doing well. >> pleasure, thank you, sandra. >> sandra: thanks for coming on with us. and we will be right back.
